Theyre in Settings - Sound - Sounds.

Also check each apps settings to see if you can change specific ones in each app.

If you want access to them manually, you can't, they are in a system folder, that you have no access to.

Hi @BabyBum and congrats on your new Xperia phone!

As @RottenFoxBreath said, the pre-loaded notification sounds are located in the system. If you want to preview or change the notification sound in general, find and tap Settings > Sound > Notification sound.

You can also set a notification sound for a specific app if you want to. for example if you want to set a specific sound for the messages app, find and tap Settings > Apps & notifications > Show all XX apps > Messages > Notifications > Other notifications > Advanced > Sound.

I hope that helped!

Yes it will...

Settings - Sound - Scroll down to sound - and there you have Phone Ringtone, Notification Sound, and Default Alarm Ringtone.

Phone ringtone brings up a list of pre-installed tunes.

Notification Sound brings up a list of pre-installed notification tones.

And Default Alarm Sound brings up a list of pre-installed alarm tunes.

Thank you @BabyBum for the quick reply!

Clearing the data for the system app in charge of notification sounds may do the trick. Find and tap Settings > Apps & notifications > Show all XX apps > Tap the menu icon (three vertical dots) > Show system > Audio settings > Storage > Clear data > Tap "OK" > Restart the phone.

Try this and let me know how it goes!
